Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.
119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/803,046, filed
Feb. 8, 2019, the contents of the entirety of which are
incorporated by this reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates generally to the field of
plant breeding, and more specifically to edible bean line
<14541> (LUMEN).
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] In the United States, there is increasing concern over the
consumption of high sugar and high fat foods by the population. An
alarming increase in obesity among the citizens in the United
States exists since many people in the United States are overweight
due to a lack of exercise and poor eating habits.
[0004] Beans and peas are listed under both the Vegetables, and the
Meats and Beans categories of the Dietary Guidelines Pyramid, thus,
emphasizing the healthy nature of legumes in the diet. In addition
to the emphasis on lower fat and lower sugar diets, beneficial
effects of legumes are becoming apparent. Legumes are packed with
fiber and protein, as well as being a good source of numerous
vitamins and minerals. Legumes also have a low glycemic index and
may help play a role in maintaining normal blood sugar levels;
increasing digestive health; and even possibly improving heart
health. Yet, legumes are an underutilized food in the United States
diet.
[0005] With the increased awareness of the problems of obesity,
poor eating habits, and the increased awareness of the health
benefits of legumes, there exists a need for healthier food
products and foodstuffs that provide the beneficial nutritional
effects of legumes, as well as a consistent crop supply of such
legumes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] In each of its various embodiments, the present invention
helps fulfill these needs and discloses a pinto bean variety for
use in breeding new bean varieties, as well as a foodstuff.
[0007] In one embodiment, an edible bean seed designated as LUMEN,
a sample of the edible bean seed that will be deposited under an
accession no., is disclosed.
[0008] In another embodiment, methods of using the edible bean seed
LUMEN for breeding new varieties of bean seed are disclosed. Seeds
of the edible bean seed designated as LUMEN are also disclosed.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0009] FIG. 1 shows the breeding history of edible bean line
<14451> (LUMEN).
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] In one embodiment, an edible bean line designated as
<14451> or (LUMEN), is disclosed. As used herein, the term
LUMEN will be used to refer to edible bean variety <14451>.
Also disclosed are bean plants having the physiological and
morphological characteristics of the edible bean line designated as
LUMEN. Parts of the bean plant including, without limitation,
pollen, ovules, pods and cells, as well as uses of such parts in
breeding are further disclosed.
[0011] In another embodiment, seed of the edible bean line
designated as LUMEN is disclosed. Such seed may be an essentially
homogenous population of the edible bean line designated as LUMEN,
wherein such seed of the edible bean line designated as LUMEN is
essentially free of other seed. Accordingly, the seed of the
present invention comprises at least 95% or more of seed of the
edible bean line designated as LUMEN.
[0012] In yet a further embodiment, tissue culture of regenerable
cells of the edible bean line designated as LUMEN are disclosed.
Such tissue culture may be capable of expressing all of the
physiological and morphological characteristics of the edible bean
line designated as LUMEN, and be capable of regenerating plants
having the same genotype of plants of the edible bean line
designated as LUMEN. The tissue culture may be obtained from
embryos, meristems, cotyledons, pollen, leaves, anthers, roots,
root tips, pistil, flower, seed and/or stalks.
[0013] In an additional embodiment, breeding methods for producing
edible bean seeds, plants and/or pods using the edible bean line
designated as LUMEN of the present invention as a parent are
disclosed. Such breeding methods may be used to prepare hybrid
edible bean seed or plants or inbred edible bean seed or plants,
where seed ultimately produced using the edible bean line
designated as LUMEN as at least one of the parents are included
within the scope of this invention.
[0014] In one embodiment, methods of crossing the edible bean line
designated as LUMEN with itself of a second plant and the seeds and
plants produced by such methods are disclosed. Such methods may be
used for propagating edible bean line designated as LUMEN, or can
be used to produce hybrid dry bean seeds and the plants grown
therefrom.
[0015] In a further embodiment, the present invention discloses a
process for producing beans comprising obtaining a plant of the
edible bean line designated as LUMEN, cultivating the plant to
maturity, and collecting and/or harvesting beans from the mature
plant. Such beans may be used ultimately as a foodstuff, as seed or
as parent in a breeding program.
[0016] The present invention further discloses methods and
compositions relating to plants, seeds and derivatives of edible
bean line designated as LUMEN. LUMEN has an erect growth habit, is
indeterminate, has guides that are medium to long and has no
ability to climb. LUMEN also has scattered pods that are not
concentrated high or low, is adapted to machine harvest, and a good
lodging resistance. LUMEN is a pinto bean variety exhibiting traits
including, but not limited to carrying the recessive sd gene, such
that LUMEN is slow darkening as compared to other pinto bean lines.
LUMEN will retain a bright, white color through adverse weather
conditions or when being stored. Observations and seed increase
show that edible bean line designated as LUMEN shows uniformity and
stability, without variants.
Origin and Breeding History.
[0017] The development of the edible bean line designated as LUMEN
can be summarized as follows. A cross was made between pinto
variety `Sinaloa` as the male parent and the ProVita pinto variety
`07-5213` as the female parent. The cross was made during the
spring in Year 1 in the greenhouse. The edible bean line designated
as LUMEN was derived from this cross.
[0018] The breeding history of edible bean line designated as LUMEN
is shown in FIG. 1.

[0019] Selections were done in the F3, F4, and F5 generations as
follows. In the F3 generation, there was segregation for
architecture, maturity, seed gloss, seed color, and seed size.
Single plant selections were made for upright architecture, high
pod set, yield, seed gloss, seed color, seed size, and acceptable
maturity. In the F4 generation, single plant selections were made
for upright architecture, high pod set, yield, seed color, seed
size, and acceptable maturity. In the F5 generation, single plant
selections were made for upright architecture, high pod set, yield,
seed color, seed size, and acceptable maturity. Such selections
resulted in the new edible bean line designated as LUMEN, which was
observed to be uniform, stable, and substantially free of any
variants within commercially acceptable limits since the F6
generation. It is known that a small percentage of off-types may
occur for a characteristic of edible bean line designated as LUMEN
during multiplication.

[0022] LUMEN carries the recessive sd gene that confers resistance
to darkening due to age or environmental conditions. This slow
darkening gene is a particular benefit to pinto bean crops that are
grown in environments that darken traditional pinto beans. LUMEN
will retain improved bright white color through adverse weather
conditions or when being stored.
[0023] Deposit information.
[0024] A deposit of the edible bean line designated as LUMEN of the
present invention will be made with the National Center for Genetic
Resources Preservation, Fort Collins, Colorado. The date of deposit
is ______. Upon issuance of a patent, all restrictions upon the
deposit will be removed, and the deposit is intended to meet all of
the requirements of 37 C.F.R. .sctn. 1.801-1.809. The accession
number for the deposited seeds of edible bean line designated as
LUMEN is ______. The deposit will be maintained in the depository
for a period of 30 years, or 5 years after the last request, or for
the enforceable life of the patent, whichever is longer, and will
be replaced if necessary during such period.
[0025] The present invention has been described with reference to
certain exemplary embodiments, legume products, compositions and
uses thereof. However, it will be recognized by those of ordinary
skill in the art that various substitutions, modifications or
combinations of any of the exemplary embodiments may be made
without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus,
the invention is not limited by the description of the exemplary
embodiment, but rather by the appended claims as originally
